Symbolica aegyptiorvm sapientia
Nicolas Caussin's Latin treatise on Egyptian hieroglyphs and emblematic symbolism, printed in Paris by Adrien Taupinart in 1633 for Jesuit scholars and readers of emblem literature. The woodcuts are printer's ornament: foliate initials with lion masks and crowned profile heads, and horizontal headpiece strips of acanthus, fruit and scrolling tendrils, useful as drop caps, rules and section dividers.
